Oakridge’s girls soccer team is gunning for its eighth West Michigan Conference title in 10 seasons.

The Eagles will be led by their only two seniors on the team, Beka Shepherd and Aliza Olsen, who are connected in many ways.

Shepherd and Olsen are coming off of knee surgeries after season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries suffered near the end of the 2013 season.

They have been voted captains and also my play together in the midfield for the first time. Shepherd has been an all-state caliber defender for the last two seasons, but may get moved to the midfield as she looks to regain full strength.
